AI Literacy & the criticality of Public Libraries
  Developing critical AI literacy skills is one of the key informatic issues of our contemporary age, yet recent research in this area has shown that such skillsets are holistically underpinned by more 'traditional' information, digital and media literacy competencies.

Public libraries meanwhile have long been centres for the meaningful, productive and sustainable development of these critical foundational skills, suggesting they in turn are centrally placed to develop this role further in the generative-AI era.

This blog posts considers these issues and advocates for public libraries as being central to the development of critical AI literacy skills.
